Puzzle Box 2

[funkymunky]

does anyone reckon MS is keeping track of what we are talking about in these forums as a sort of feedback and to see how we are getting allong?

Yes I definitely do.

And I'm quite sure that maybe one of the new posters on here is from Microsoft ;)

It IS a part of a puzzle --> in fact it's a part of the puzzle which leads to the solution ;) --> STAGE

Yes I know that. The symbol for the letter S in text (this trickster shares...) is used for the bottom part of the letter S in solution (stage).

But there are TWO symbols for the letter S in text. True, they only differ in one box and both produce the same solution, but they are nevertheless different (see attached files).

I know this could be insignificant, but like many of you have said.. It's going to be a boring week otherwise.

So, any thoughts?

Strange... i have been clicking the little white boxes in some of the puzzles and instead of showing the true number (13 so far) it shows 7.

Suddenly it is showing 0 again. If i log out and in again, refresh that page etc it still shows 0, even after clicking them all again.

[Panacik]

Ok, finally after 3 hours i got it to show i have 16 found so far. However i cant see any on the remaining games or the previous ones?

[Panacik]

And now its set back to 0 again :s. I think this is seriously wrong...

I realise now that you need to go to - http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/collectionplate/ - from the main vanishingpoint site to see your real score. So this is now working. However, i cannot locate the final 2 squares anywhere. There are no more original squares etc either.

Realy! :o I never noticed that in my 4 years on Neowin! :rolleyes:

There is a personal reason for me not using the edit function at the moment. When i am home i would use it normaly :)

This is my first post on the forums but I have been here from the start so I'd just like to say hi to everyone.....anyway,

In response to this:

-

I think your "J" is simply an icon for javascript, as the page contains jave

Also I found a site which I am pretty sure is not in-game but you never know, http://www.vanishingpointgame.info/

I looked up the whois info for the site and don't see a problem posting it as it is public info:

Interesting to note the site was registered with GO Daddy and also Steve Guntrip is a member of the band that the site links to

http://www.themanagers.co.nz/

The guys email address and phone number is available on whois, anyone want to ring him? what do people think?

Also I noticed the Windows Launch countdown on this page http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/community/default.mspx

and it looks like it will co-incide with the end of vanishing point (or the opening of the last box anyway)

Also in the last video when Loki mentions it took 2 weeks for the Professor to climb in the window, this could be lated to the new WINDOWS becoming accessible in two weeks (Retail anyway)

Also the site http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/by_year/1990/vest_bboard/

which has the article about the Prank at MIT also contains the following info just below the title

Location: 3-208

Date: October 15, 1990

Maybe Loki mentioned the prank to get us to see this info?

PM me his phone number, I will call him. I live in New Zealand so the charges should not be much. Also you need to tell me what to say.

Sorry bout that mate. How can i know?

Perhaps a short message in one of your posts would help ;)

No need. It is no ones business or concern other than if a mod or someone in authority decideds they want to know, then i will tell them. Other than that... not your or anyone elses issue to worry about.

Sorry, i dont mean to sound sharp, but that is the bottom line. Not your problem.

[genesis89]

Okay okay, my bad. Another sorry. Let's forget it...

BTT: It's really hard to find a coat of arms with a grapnel on it. I dont think this is meant to be an existing one, i guess we have to figure out the meanings of the symbols (eg grapnel, feathers, perhaps some new ones with the next puzzle boxes).

I think it is on purpose that the feathers are drawn like for example Indians have drawn them.

So in conclusion, this crest has may-be s.th. to do with the invasion (grapnel) of Native America (Feathers) by white man???

(Just a very very slight thought of a bored person ;))

EDIT: Pls excuse my English :D

[anonymousjon]

just thought I would fill you all in on a little idea i've been talking about in the uf irc.

I believe the events will follow the 4 elements, water, wind, fire and earth.

Box 1: Water

Box 2: Wind/Air

Box 3: Earth?

Box 4: Fire? Set at an old gasworks with plenty of space for a fire/fireworks display

Could be, although what significence this will have on the game im not quite sure... yet.

I have one white box left. It is in box 2/posters. I found the white box, but when I click it, I do not get credit for it. I log out and relog in but I'm still at 17. Has anyone had similar problems?

Update: I open poster 3 and click the white box and it disappears. If I hit the back button and open poster 3 again the white box is there again.

Had loads of problems with it not updating. Try going to the site that tells you your score, from the main vanishingpoint website. It usually works that way.

EDIT :p: See my sig...

at the end of the new video i notice that you can here some faint noises, you can hear a distinct noise with about 20sec left in the video. also there is about allot of white noise after that i checked the others and they are all clear with no other noises. i don't know what to use to magnifie that sound could some one take a look in to this. also loki said

Truly a man with way too much time on his hands... lol J/K...

BTW: I posted a message on how to fix your missing 18th white box issue.. You can find it a few pages back..

[Jacki Boi]

Yes I definitely do.

And I'm quite sure that maybe one of the new posters on here is from Microsoft ;)

...who is throwing us off the truth? (i don't meen to stir things up, honest!)

[Walmer]

Earlier it was mentioned doing a "whois" to find out who a page is registered too and how to contact the owner and everything like that. How do you go about doing that?
